Love Your Big Muddy – Missouri River Connections
Steve Schnarr, Director of Missouri River Relief
6:00 p.m. Social Hour
7:00 p.m. Presentation
Presentation is FREE and open to the public!
Missouri River Relief started from people who loved the Missouri River and wanted to spread that love in the community. That’s still our mission today, to connect people to the Missouri River through river cleanups, education programs, and recreation.
River Relief hosts river cleanups from St. Louis to Omaha, NE; education programs bringing thousands of students to the river each year, and paddling races like the MR340 from Kansas City to St. Charles. Steve Schnarr is the Director of MRR. He’ll be sharing some stories of the work that Missouri River Relief does to foster community, knowledge and restoration of the Big Muddy across the state of Missouri.
Steve lives in Columbia, MO. His love for the river developed from years of exploring its waters by canoe. He was drawn to Missouri River Relief as a volunteer at local clean-ups, later serving as an event coordinator, MegaScout coordinator, MRR board member and for many years as Program Manager. He continues to help direct the organization and assist in planning several events.

Salty Winters: How Road Salt Changes Lives
Danelle Haake, PhD, Stream Ecologist and Director of Illinois RiverWatch
6:00 p.m. Social Hour
7:00 p.m. Presentation
Presentation is FREE and open to the public!
When winter snow and ice falls, people still go about their daily lives: working, playing, learning, and driving their cars to get where they’re going. This is made possible through our use of plows to remove the top layer of snow from the pavement and the use of road salt to melt the rest. But where does all that salt go? And what happens when it gets there?
Danelle Haake is the Director of Illinois RiverWatch and a Stream Ecologist with the National Great Rivers Research & Education Center in Alton, Illinois. She has worked in the water quality and ecological restoration realms for over 20 years, including developing water quality management plans in Iowa, managing reconstructed prairie and woodland habitats with Missouri Botanical Garden, and studying the impact of road salt on stream ecosystems. Since 2010, she has been coordinating community science participants in an effort to better understand the connections between road salt and water quality.
The Illinois RiverWatch Network is a volunteer monitoring initiative coordinated by the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC℠). RiverWatch is the only statewide biological monitoring program that provides volunteers a hands-on opportunity to become stewards of our local waterways by monitoring stream habitat and water quality. The program was originally established in 1995 and has since expanded to the statewide level, with over 200 participants monitoring streams annually.

2023-02-25 09:00 - 15:00 UTC | Big Muddy Wildlife Refuge Headquarters, 18500 Brady Lane, Boonville, MO, 65233-3126, United States
Each year Greenway Network, in conjunction with MO Stream Team, brings together experts from all areas to talk about how to deal with trash and situations that are outside of the usual straws and water bottles. This includes things like tanks and barrels that might contain toxic substances, needles and sharps, medical waste and things that might require the intervention of law enforcement. We know these things don’t happen every day, but we want to make sure that team leaders and project coordinators are prepared for their unlikely occurrence.
This year the seminar will take place at the Headquarters of the USFWS’ Big Muddy Wildlife Refuge in Boonville from 9 am until 3 pm. Lunch will be available. A donation of $10 is suggested to offset the cost of the meal.
Registration for the on-line virtual option will open closer to the event.

Mission: Clean Stream/ Greg Poleski Memorial Cleanup
2023-03-25 08:00 UTC | Cora Island, Cora Island Road off Red School Road, West Alton, MO, 63386
March 24 UPDATE: The Greg Poleski Memorial Clean-up at Cora Island, scheduled for Saturday March 25, will be rescheduled. Unfortunately, the parking lot is too muddy, and if it continues to rain, the access road can become impassible.
Mission: Clean Stream is taking place all across the County on Saturday. Most of the other locations do not have the same access issues that Cora has, so they typically take place rain or shine. We would love it if you would participate at one of those sites. You may contact the municipalities directly to see if they can use your help, or you can check on the Mission: Clean Stream and/or their Facebook pages or websites for updates. For those locations, click HERE to view details for MCS events across St Charles County.
Thanks and we hope to see you soon!

Greenway Network Board member Kelly Dunlap – “Introducing the Stream Care Guide”
The Stream Care Guide was designed by the Soil and Water Conservation Department, City of Wentzville, and St. Charles County to inform and educate all residents of their role in their watersheds. Everyone wants clean water, but not everyone understands the connection between activities in their watershed and the effects on water. This guide takes the reader on a journey to understand their county’s watersheds, streams, and rivers; to locate themselves on a map within their watersheds and to visualize “when it rains, it drains”. They discover how their yard drains to a particular stream and on to the next until flowing into the mighty rivers on their way to the Gulf. Readers also discover how they impact water quality and how they can help their local streams and waterbodies.
The link to the guide is near the bottom of – https://www.wentzvillemo.gov/departments/public_works/stormwater_management/our_watersheds_and_streams.php
If it’s nice out (not raining and 60ish+ degrees) we will sit outside.

Trash for Trees Pick Up
2024-01-18 09:30 - 11:00 (America/Chicago)
Cross-post for awareness: Trash for Trees is an environmental and beautification project organized by a local citizen activist based in St. Louis City. The goals of Trash for Trees project, which partners with Forest ReLeaf, are to work in specific city neighborhoods picking up trash and planting native trees on the yards of homeowners. With the help of local financial sponsors, Trash for Trees puts a price on the pieces of trash picked up. This means each piece of trash picked up helps fund the purchase of a tree that gets planted in a city neighborhood. Trees are provided through and planted by Forest ReLeaf staff and volunteers.

The trash goal in 2023 was to pick up 36,000 pieces of trash to raise enough funds to plant 60 trees. Check!
The trash goal for 2024 is to pick up 40,000 pieces of trash to fund 80 trees.

Trash for Trees’ Pick Ups in The Patch Neighborhood:

Trash for Trees Pick Up
2024-01-30 09:30 - 11:00 (America/Chicago)
Cross-post for awareness: Trash for Trees is an environmental and beautification project organized by a local citizen activist based in St. Louis City. The goals of Trash for Trees project, which partners with Forest ReLeaf, are to work in specific city neighborhoods picking up trash and planting native trees on the yards of homeowners. With the help of local financial sponsors, Trash for Trees puts a price on the pieces of trash picked up. This means each piece of trash picked up helps fund the purchase of a tree that gets planted in a city neighborhood. Trees are provided through and planted by Forest ReLeaf staff and volunteers.

The trash goal in 2023 was to pick up 36,000 pieces of trash to raise enough funds to plant 60 trees. Check!
The trash goal for 2024 is to pick up 40,000 pieces of trash to fund 80 trees.
